Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems - such as SAP Business One - can aid companies to achieve targets, it has been claimed.

According to eresourceerp.com, an information source on such technology, ERP systems offer a number of benefits, including improved customer satisfaction, increased competitiveness and waste reduction.

Organisations attempting to incorporate total quality management principles into their operations will find "ERP software has become an essential necessity", it stated.

"These [ERP] systems and methods guide all quality activities and encourage participation by all employees," the website added.

Businesses hoping to maximise the gains from programs of this kind were advised to ensure the supervisory elements of deployment and post-implementation strategies are closely monitored.

Setting clear objectives and keeping track of key performance indicators is essential for maintaining effectiveness, the resource explained.

A study by the Panorama Group recently discovered 72 per cent of enterprises are happy with the ERP systems they have bought.
